For the past six years, Sara Bacon had been working for herself, running her design firm COMMAND C. But working solo made her realize she missed other people. And she’s not alone in hating to work alone.

“I love what I do, but I really miss the collaborative environment one gets while in school or while working at a firm. So a central point of the space is to build community among talented and creative people, while getting some work done,” Bacon wrote on the blog for Greenpoint CoWorking, or GPCW.

GCPW opened on Monday at 240 North Henry Street. The space is open, sunny and pleasant, with hardwood floors and a wall-size blackboard. Coworkers can sit at a long desk along the window or at a long table. Permanent desk space is $360 a month for a minimum of six months; the day rate is $25.
